Yellow means start to slow down and be ready to stop. The other ones I don't who came up them but they must have had a reason for it.when is it a safe age to take a child out of a car seat/booster seat?

Yield!! Proceed with caution!How old, or what weight does a child have to be to be able to use a backless booster seat for a car?
Engineer Bill is erroneously blamed for the adoption of the Red for stop, green for go thing. A gross accusation. Actually it was Mr. Greenjeans - Engineer Bill only implemented it.The Dairy Lobby loved it and the kids benefitted from it. Why not a Nobel prize for both of them?

Mid way down the link is the information on the history of traffic signals.
When you are on the 405 highway and you brake in a Civic from 45-50 MPH and there is no screech are?
Well i think it all might have started when sum people were driving in there steam powerd vehciles and there were two roads that were crossing one another and they were both driving on them at the same time and they crossed the roads and slammed into eachother spilling the steam which cooked them both to a crisp and then started a devistating fire that caused a large amount of trouble. Thats when one smart dude wus like. I bet that wudnt have happend if sumone told them that they would be in an accident if they went becuase sumone else was coming. So that guy made himself an official traffic controller.So the next monday morning he got up , had his coffee and went and stood out in the intersection. As cars came and went he would tell one side to halt and the other to go thru. HE did a great job controlling traffic untill the night of new years eve. of course people were driving around drunk and when he told them to stop do you think they did? Of course not! so this guy gets squished like a panckake and then cooked like one too from the steam. People mourned the man for a long time. long enough for Henry ford to be born and come out wiht the Model T. This is when he said i dont want my beautfiful cars to get ruined so i need to bring back the traffic controller. But nobody wanted to do it becuase they were to afraid. So he tried putting these candles on the road that would get lit by sumone or blown out by sumone every time a driver had to stop or go. of course when it rained the light didint work. And one stormy night another accident occured. Now of course people were traumatized. and they said this whole stop and go thiing is getting rediculous. they said. we need a nuetral light. ( what is now a yellow light ) It will just tell people to be cautious and go slow. Now since everyone was in a rush this "nuetral light" was causing problems. This big old light post in the middle of the road that people had to go around slwly was confusing. And people would go at the same time and some would go around it one way and others would go around it another way and it caused a big traffic jam. People started fighting and eventually some guy ran another guy over for sum reason i dont know. SO now its like world war two and sumone was like lets do it like the trains do. Well make different color lights. So they made a go a stop and a nuetral. A green a red and a yellow. They placed the three on the ground on the road on a post and it was working well. But of course people were still having toruble understaning what the yellow one was. SO one time this guy was going thru a yellow and another guy had a green and they almost hit ... but the didnt .. the dodged eachother and one of them hit the pole with the lights on it. So one dude was like ... we are so close but we need to do sumthign else. so he decided to hang the lgiths on a tree so cars didint have to go around them
This was the best solution by far. it was working great. so these cars are stopping and going and its wonderufl. BUt one night there was a lightning storm. And the tree was struck and it , and the lights, fell ontop of like 8 cars . SO president mincus cardigan ( he was a secret president....see how your history teacher likes that one ) was like lets rasie some money to make some sturdy poles to hang these lights from and make it so that this tragedy will end. SO they finally did it and now as long as people arent breaking the law we wont hit eachother, run over anyone, hit any lights in the middel of the road, get cooked by steam or crushed by a giant tree.
Why are people in such a hurry?
drive safe!
